Today's Party Smoke, or BUST!!!

[eaglewing]

OK, here we go on my "Pulled Pork/Smoked Duck in the cold Smoke".


First, PROOF of what it is like outside right now close to 9am...




I got some PREP work to do outside to the tent area and the smoker... PREPed the meat last night, duck in a brine and the BUTTS pre-rubbed.

I'll keep the Qviews coming of course...

TOTALLY dropped the ball on this one...
I didn't get any pics of the DUCK which turned out AWESOME!!! Had a PHD Concert Pianist from Taiwan at my party and she said it was the BEST Duck she has ever had here in the USA!!!!

The BUTTS were excellent as usual!!! Used my new 'Bear Paws' to do the pulling, those things kick a$$.
The party was a big hit, the pork and Duck were too...

for the record:

I used PITROW's brine:


Before smoking I stuck the skin in several places to make holes for the FAT to drain out...Smoked for about 4.5 hrs till 165* internal and it turned out great.

The BUTTS, by the book!!!! Used RIVET'S Finishing Sauce

I BEG for forgiveness for not getting Qviews of the Duck... I must have been intoxicated to forget that!!!
